Arabic is a language of words with precise, unquestionable meanings as well as multiple nuances. Indeed, it is a language that can convey diverse meanings that cannot be translated into just one word.
Arabic also plays an important role in the Middle Eastern job market. It can open doors to employment in practically all industries.
For the employee involved in finance or oil exploration Arabic can be a critical asset. Studying the language to communicate with locals is certainly beneficial, but the ability to communicate with Arabic speaking companies gives the Arabic speaker a way to connect as well as an edge in business that might otherwise be missed in English only conversations.
